33 cL bottle, as Dark Beer. Pours dark brown with a deep amber glare and a small off-white head. Aroma is roasted and breadish. Roasted malty and caramelish. Sweet and slight bitterness coming through. Lingering dark roasted and dry malty finish.

It pours a dark brown color with a lingering 1 finger off white head. It has some lacing and a large amount of carb present. On the nose I am getting some sweet malt and a little grassy notes. It has a creamy mouthful and on the flavor side of things I get some sweet malt,carmel,toasted bread,grains. The sweetness up front seems to balance out with grassy hops. It finishes with a slight bitterness. It is similar to a pale euro pale lager but without the skunk and not something you have to force down. I have to say this is something I could reach for again.

Bottle: Clear red/Brown colour, nice creamy white head. Aroma us chocolate, caramelly, à bit citric in the end. Flavor is dominated of caramelly, Coffee, dark chocolate. Some caramelly, in the end. Thin body and à shirt to medium dry dark chocolate finish.

Gösser Dark bottle 0,33 cl, 110117. Pours deep dark brown with ruby tones with a small brown head. Aroma is dry, hay, smokey and roasted malts. Malty sweetish mouthfeel. Malty, bready, slightly salty smokey, licorice and acidy fruity flavor. Sourish palate. Finishes dry with a longlived tart bitter aftertaste.

Bottle as Gösser Dark. Dark reddish brown with an almost creamy tan head. Aroma: milk choclate, roasted, nuts (perhaps roasted hazel nuts), grassy hops and butter. Taste: roasted malts, nuts, some chocolate (but less than in the aroma), some kind of fruit, grassy hops, maybe svagdricka. The taste is a bit thin or lacking something. Medium-bodied with soft bubbles. OK, I guess.

Draft in Salzburg, Austria. As ’Gosser Schwarzbier’. Very dark beer with a frothy head. Smooth and light - not at all bitter. Very gentle coffee malt notes and distinct walnuts. Smooth dry finish. Lovely fresh tasty beer.
